Rafa in Beijing QF
Another victory for Rafa at China Open. He defeated Peter Gojowczyk of Germeny in straight sets: 6-3, 6-4 and he is in quarterfinals.
After the match Rafa said: “I think I made a few mistakes on breakpoints, important mistakes. He has a good serve, so he's able to win free points.”
“It is normal after a period of time without competing, only having one match before, normal that you feel a little bit the nervous, the pressure in that moment, because you need matches to be in rhythm, to be confident in what you do in these moments.”
“I lost a lot of opportunities to have advantage, then the last game was tough.”
"In general I need to improve. It's obvious. My serve worked well today. But in general I need more rhythm on the legs, more rhythm on the shots. I am playing okay, trying to not miss a lot, trying to play with not too many risks. That's what I did today. It's the only way to have matches, only way to have rhythm."
"Coming back in this part of the season is completely different than if I am coming back on clay. I would be able to be in rhythm a little bit faster, a little bit easier... The positive thing is that for another year I'm going to finish in a high position in the ranking, winning a Grand Slam again. I'm going to enjoy the remaining few tournaments. For me this last part of the season obviously is important. Every tournament is important for me. At the same time I want to finish with a better feeling possible to start the new season with good tennis."
no In quarterfinals, Rafa will play against Martin Klizan of Slovakia. On head to head, Rafa leads Klizan: 2-0. Their last match was this year at Wimbledon, where Rafa won in 4 sets: 4-6, 6-3, 6-3, 6-3.
VAMOS RAFA !!!
